We have a server running SQL Server 2008 R2 that hosts a database, the userconnects via instance and dns name for the server over the network.Now that I have moved the user from one domain to another (migrating some users). The SQL database is in another domain. Can I change the computer name of the server (JUST) for the instance of SQLrunning on the client machine/server ? Because otherwise there is no other way I have found,to getthe SQL Server Mgmt Studio configuration set to the IPADDRESS\SQLINSTANCE on the client machine instead ofSERVERNAME\SQLINSTANCE. Can I input an IP address of the server for the path to the SQL instance for the client or change in Server Mgmt Studio on server. Thanks so much !!!
I've tried running :
Getting a syntax errors, don't think it likes IP addresses
sp_dropserver;GOsp_addserver , local;GO
Or do I need...
